to the supported versions of z/OS operating systems.

Monitoring and Management for z/OS

CA SYSVIEW:

Combines many displays for system resources with a powerful command facility
that lets you take appropriate actions in managing your z/OS environment.

Enables, from a single session, the monitoring of, but not limited to, the following:

16 User Guide

Overall z/OS system activity

DASD and CPU usage

I/O rates and storage usage of a particular address space

CICS task and transaction details

A selected CA Datacom/DB MUF

A WebSphere MQ queue

An IMS region

TCP/IP configuration, and more.

Provides the ability to:

Fully manage JES2 resources and jobs

Show the system configuration and definitions

Provides the Cross-System Resource Monitoring facility. This facility lets you view,
monitor, and manage multiple z/OS images remotely from one interface without
using a session manager.

Performance Monitor

Provides a System Condition Monitor (SCM), which is a color-coded, high-level

summary screen of resources that are currently being monitored. SCM uses
intelligent modules (IMODs) written in compiled REXX with additional CA supplied
functions, or IMODs, to communicate with monitored subsystems. For more IMOD
information, see the Administration Guide.

Provides a System Overview menu, which lets you display an overview of the
current z/OS system status. This component enhances the monitoring of all CA
SYSVIEW commands and functions

Customize and Secure the Displays and Commands

In addition to its vast monitoring capabilities, you can:

Dynamically change your systems and environments.

Using CA SYSVIEW commands, you can initiate actions such as altering, deleting, or
canceling system resources.

Visualize key resources using graphical displays.

Graphical displays show resource usage and let you visualize key resources. You can
select or sort data based on real-time values in each column.

Obtain information from displays.

A batch interface and a REXX API are also provided to make information available
programmatically and to assist automation.
Note: For more information, see the chapters "Using the Batch Interface" and
"Using the Application Programming Interface" in the Administration Guide.

Secure your displays and commands.

You can fully secure access to the displays and use of the command set.

Expand the product.

You can easily expand CA SYSVIEW to keep current with the ever-changing systems
and new environments that you manage. Development of new components never
stops.

Performance Monitor
The CA SYSVIEW data collection and monitoring functions let you:

Customize the data you collect and how often it is collected

Activate the CA SYSVIEW performance monitoring by setting options in parameter

files

Chapter 1: Overview 17

Command Facility

Threshold-based Alerts
CA SYSVIEW issues alerts if a resource exceeds a usage limit or is in an undesirable state.
You can set the thresholds by assigning values that issues an alert when the following
scenarios occur:

The percentage of CPU usage is greater than 90

The amount of free common storage is less than 256 KB

The CICSPROD is in the INACTIVE state

The WebSphere MQ channel is in the STOPPED state

The THRESH command displays the current z/OS threshold values, which you can modify
by overtyping the entry. The ALERTS command displays z/OS system data collection
exception alerts for both warning and problem thresholds.
When a threshold value is exceeded, CA SYSVIEW logs the event and issues a warning
message. The message could trigger automated operations using REXX programs and CA
OPS/MVS, when installed.

Command Facility
The CA SYSVIEW powerful and comprehensive command facility lets you monitor and
manage your z/OS environment using over 700 commands. Extensive online help is
provided for each command.
The command facility combines with navigational features, including:

18 User Guide

Hierarchical menus

Fast-path commands

Drill down using cursor point-and-shoot

Interfaces

Interfaces
CA SYSVIEW comes with many interfaces. You can run and access it from environments
including VTAM, TSO, ISPF, CICS, or CA Roscoe.
The following interfaces are provided:

3270
Use the local 3270 device interface to run CA SYSVIEW in a dedicated mode from
any locally attached 3270 device. This interface makes it possible for you to use CA
SYSVIEW even when TSO, VTAM, and JES2 are not active.

Batch
Run CA SYSVIEW as a batch job.

API
Use the application programming interface to obtain information from CA SYSVIEW
displays for use in other programs. You access the API using TSO/E REXX.

CA SYSVIEW Option for CICS Monitor Exit Interface

Customize your CICS applications to pass information to CA SYSVIEW.

Console
Execute CA SYSVIEW commands with the output displayed on the console.

Terminal Interfaces
Run and access CA SYSVIEW from the following 3270 Terminal Interfaces: VTAM,
TSO, ISPF, CICS, and CA Roscoe.

GUI Interfaces
CA SYSVIEW using CA Graphical Management Interface (CA GMI) now provides a
GUI interface.

User Interface
CA SYSVIEW provides a flexible and easy-to-use user interface, which makes problem
determination intuitive.
Because the displays are menu-driven, they are easy to navigate. You can select a
display by name, number, or cursor position.
You are not limited to using menus. You can issue a CA SYSVIEW command by name or
by its synonym from the option or command input entry area of any display.

Chapter 1: Overview 19

36 User Guide

Provides a color-coded, high-level summary of the resources that are currently

being monitored. The SCM tells you at a glance where the problems are, so that you
do not have to search multiple areas to find problem sources.

Lets Helpdesk personnel and operators notify appropriate personnel when a

problem exists. System programmers can drill down and find the source of the
problem.

The Components in More Detail

Lists all your subsystems and resources using the primary SCM screen, such as
DASD, file systems, CICS regions, and more. Each entry has a color indicator that
shows whether a problem exists and, if so, the severity of the problem. For each
entry, you can easily drill down to see more detail.

Clearly describes problems; for example, WTOs requiring replies is 34. Positive
statements about system health are also provided, such as No TAPE devices
require attention.

Can be used right out-of-the-box. In addition, you can easily customize it to monitor
any data that is available on your systems. You can also expand it easily by adding
your own data to monitor additional resources.

Uses intelligent modules written in compiled REXX with additional CA supplied

functions, or IMODs, to communicate with the monitored subsystems. You use
IMODs to automate system monitoring and regulate resources or to create your
own online reports on system activities.

Important! When upgrading to a new release of CA SYSVIEW, the new release and the
IMOD libraries shipped with the new release match. The new IMOD libraries overlay and
therefore replace the IMOD libraries from the previous release. If you decide to modify
the IMOD libraries, CA suggests creating a site-specific IMOD library for those locally
written IMODs.

Separator Line
The separator line, not shown in the sample screen, follows the header line to separate
it from the data area. If present, this line is blank or contains the column ruler.

Data Area
The data area of the display contains the data fields for a display that you have accessed
by issuing one of the CA SYSVIEW commands. The data area is most often composed of
rows and columns. Some columns scroll and some do not. The information in a column
is referred to as a field.
The first data line in the display (regardless of which line it is) is known as the current
line.

End of Data Line

The end of data line indicates the end of data for the display. A few displays (DUMP, for
example) do not contain an end of data line. If the display does not contain any data,
the line says No Data Available instead of End of Data.

Filler Area
The filler area is blank space used to fill out the display.

Scroll the Displays

PF Message Area
The PF message area displays one to four lines of information. You specify what you
want displayed in this area. By default, the PF keys are displayed, and they are shown in
this area.
Note: For information about specifying what is displayed in this area, see the chapter
Basic Tasks (see page 77) or the PROFILE command online help.

Scroll the Displays

Use the following commands to scroll the CA SYSVIEW displays:

LEFT

RIGHT

UP

DOWN

You can also issue the TOP and BOTTOM commands to go to the top and the bottom of
the display, respectively.
If a display contains more data than can fit on one screen, you can view the additional
data by scrolling right. To return to your original position, scroll left.
You can use PF keys or function commands to scroll as follows:

Using PF keys
By default, your PF keys for scrolling commands (LEFT, RIGHT, UP, and DOWN) have
been set for how much data to scroll at one time. You can change these settings
using the SET SCROLLVALUE command.
For values you can specify for SCROLLVALUE, see the SET command online help.
For more information about how to use the SET command, see SET
Command--Change Your Profile (see page 68) in the chapter Basic Tasks.

Issuing function commands

To scroll a display using a function command, type the scrolling command at the
command line. If you want, you can add parameters to the command. For example,
if you would like to scroll down eight lines, you would specify the following
command at the command line:
DOWN 8

To learn about the parameters for scrolling commands, look up the command in the CA
SYSVIEW online help. For more information about using online help, see Obtaining Help
(see page 58) in this chapter.

View the PF Key Settings

View the PF Key Settings

By default, your PF key settings are displayed at the bottom of your screen. If for some
reason they are not, you can set them to be displayed.
When you are using a display, you can display the PF key settings by specifying the
following command in the command input area:
PFSHOW ON

To display PF key settings for all displays, specify the following command:
PFSHOW ON ALL

Default PK Key Settings

The PF key definitions distributed on the installation tape are the default definitions.
The PF keys are initially the same on every display.
CA SYSVIEW provides the following default PF key settings:

PF1/PF13 - HELP

PF3/PF15 - RETURN

PF5/PF17 - FIND

PF7/PF19 - UP

PF8/PF20 - DOWN

PF10/PF22 - LEFT

PF11/PF23 - RIGHT

PF12/PF24 - RECALL

For information about how to change your PF key settings, see the chapter Basic Tasks
(see page 77).

How to Enter Commands, Parameters, Subcommands, and Line

Commands
The CA SYSVIEW commands can have parameters and subcommands. You can also use
line commands on a command display. The following sections describe how to enter
commands, parameters, subcommands, and line commands.

Chapter 2: Basic Skills 49

How to Enter Commands, Parameters, Subcommands, and Line Commands

Primary and Function Commands

The COMMANDS command distinguishes the type of command to use. It has PRI, FUNC,
or SUB for Primary, Function and Subcommand.
PRI
The primary command returns a display.
FUNC
The function command takes an action and returns a message on the current
display.

Parameter Conventions
Knowing how to enter parameters for a command is essential. Properly entering
parameters lets you access the display you want.
Use the following conventions to enter parameters:

When you enter a parameter, separate the command from the parameters with a
space.

When you enter more than one parameter, separate the individual parameters with
a comma or a space.

Example: Add Parameters to a Command

This example adds parameters to the ACTIVITY command.
ACTIVITY [jobname][,type][,status]

50 User Guide

How to Enter Commands, Parameters, Subcommands, and Line Commands

Mark an Omitted Parameter Position

A positional parameter must be placed in a specific position among the parameters you
enter. Positional parameters are interpreted based on their order in a series of
parameters. You account for any omitted positional parameter by entering a comma in
its place. Except, however, if the omitted parameters are to the right of the last
parameter you entered. Then you do not need to enter commas to show where they
would be placed.
The following examples show parameters entered on the ACTIVITY command. When the
jobname and type parameters are not specified, commas are inserted in their places.
ACTIVITY ABC
This example uses the jobname parameter.
ACTIVITY ,TSU
This example omits the jobname parameter, but uses the type parameter. The
comma before the TSU represents the omitted jobname.
ACTIVITY ,,OUT
This example omits both the jobname and type parameters, and uses the status
parameter OUT. The two commas preceding OUT represent the omitted jobname
and type.
ACTIVITY ABC22,NOI,ALL
This example shows how you can enter all three parameters. Commas separate the
parameters. You can use spaces to separate the parameters instead of commas.

Parameter Masks
You can use masks to enter some command parameter values. A mask is a partial or
generic parameter name. For instance, you could use masking characters to indicate a
partial (or masked) job name as a value for the ACTIVITY jobname parameter.
Default masking characters are the asterisk (*) and the equal sign (=). The asterisk
replaces any single character, and the equal sign replaces any number of characters in
the name being masked.

Chapter 2: Basic Skills 51

How to Enter Commands, Parameters, Subcommands, and Line Commands

Change Masking Characters

You can change these masking characters to other characters.
To change masking characters, go to the Input character options area in the
Miscellaneous Section of your general profile and change the following values:

Fixed length masking character (default *)

Variable-length masking character (default =)

Your default masking characters are changed.

You can also use the SET command to change these characters. For full instructions on
how to perform this task, see the chapter Basic Tasks (see page 77).
Examples: Using Masking Characters
The following examples show how to use masking characters to mask a jobname
parameter. These examples reflect the use of default characters.
=
Matches all characters of a job name.
ABC=
Matches job names starting with ABC and ending in any other characters.
A=C
Matches job names that begin with A and end with C.
**ABC=
Matches job names with ABC as their third, fourth, and fifth characters, any specific
first or second characters, and any remaining characters after the fifth (C).
*ABC
Matches job names with ABC as their second, third, and last characters.
AB****
Matches job names with AB as their first two characters, and four remaining
characters in their names.

How to Enter Commands, Parameters, Subcommands, and Line Commands

Enter Parameters with PF Keys

When you want to include a parameter with a command for which you have defined a
PF key, do the following:
1.

First, type the parameter on the command line.

2.

Press the PF key.

For information about how to define default parameters for a command, see the topic
Initialization Command Options in the Profile (see page 77) in the chapter Basic Tasks.

Enter Subcommands
Some commands have subcommands you can use when you are on the display of that
command. These subcommands provide additional functionality that let you perform
the following tasks:

Access more specific displays

Locate information that is on a display

Refresh a display

Add or replace information that is on a display

You enter subcommands on the command line in much the same way you enter
commands. Also, subcommands can have parameters, and if they have multiple
parameters, those parameters are treated as positional parameters.

Chapter 2: Basic Skills 53

How to Enter Commands, Parameters, Subcommands, and Line Commands

Enter Line Commands

Line commands are commands that you issue on many displays to affect a line on a
display. You can use the abbreviated uppercase part of a line command to issue the
command.
Follow these steps:
1.

Tab to the input area under the Cmd heading to the left of the line on the display
for the job you want affect.

2.

Type the line command (cancel) or the abbreviated part of the line command (C),
and press Enter.
The command is processed, in this case the job is canceled, and a refresh of the
screen displays.

3.

Display a list of available line commands for the display, place the cursor on the line
command field and press the HELP PF key.
The available line commands are displayed.

4.

Type the line command and press Enter.

The command is processed.

You have entered both a specific line command and a line command that you selected
from the Help.
Block commands are available for use with line commands, and for other purposes. For
more information about entering block commands, see the online help Topics.

Create External Line Commands

You can externally define your own line commands for any given display. This ability lets
you drill down or initiate an action to satisfy your own requests. The parmlib member
LINECMDS contains example definitions. Using these example definitions, you can
define your own set of external line commands specific to your needs.
Follow these steps:
1.

Access user definitions from the following location:

user.sysview.parmlib(LINECMDS)

The LINECMDS parmlib member displays.

2.

Code your own external line commands in this member using the example
definitions provided in this member as a template and save your changes.
Your line commands are defined.

How to Enter Commands, Parameters, Subcommands, and Line Commands

Information about Commands

The following list provides miscellaneous information about CA SYSVIEW commands.

Commands Executed in the Current ASID

When commands are executed for CA SYSVIEW, the current address space ID is
used. To change the address space ID when appropriate, you can use either the
ASID function command or an ASID parameter of a command.

Dynamic Changes Not Saved at Next IPL

Some changes that you can make when you issue CA SYSVIEW commands are only
in effect until the next system IPL.
For example, use the ADD subcommand to add a data set to the LINKLIST. That data
set addition is in effect only until the next IPL of your system. To see if this
restriction applies to a particular command, see the online help for that command.

Save time with the RECALL and REVIEW Commands

The RECALL and REVIEW commands help you save time when you are issuing
commands.

RECALL Command
The RECALL command displays, on the command line of the current display, the
last command that you executed. This recall helps you to remember previously
executed commands so that you can issue them again without having to type
them in. When the command you issued has been recalled, you can issue it
again by pressing Enter.
Note: You cannot recall scrolling commands (unless they contain a parameter)
or the REFRESH command. You can recall only one copy of a command that you
have entered several times in succession.

REVIEW Command
The REVIEW command displays the contents of the command input stack. The
commands you have previously issued are shown and you can optionally
modify them and issue them again.

Note: For specific details on using these commands, see online help.

Chapter 2: Basic Skills 55

Find Information on a Display

Find Information on a Display

Use the FIND command to locate information that is on a display. The FIND command
searches the display data for a specified character string.
Note: The DUMP command has its own FIND subcommand. For information about
issuing FIND from the DUMP display, see the DUMP command in online help.
The FIND command has the following format:
FIND {string}[,keyword1][,keyword2][,col1][,col2]
[,fieldname]

string
This required parameter specifies the string you want to find. If a string contains
embedded blanks or commands, it must be contained in character delimiters. The
default character delimiter is the apostrophe ('). You can change this default in your
profile.
The following formats qualify a string:

C'string' indicates a character string

T'string' indicates a text string

X'string' indicates a hex string

P'string' indicates a picture string

Example: The following command finds the string JOB1:

FIND JOB1

The string parameter must be specified before you can specify any of the other
parameters.
keyword1
Finds multiple occurrences of the string. Values of keyword1 are NEXT, PREV, FIRST,
LAST, and ALL.
Example: Find a previous occurrence of the string JOB1, specify the following:
FIND JOB1 PREV

When you use the value ALL for keyword1, the command does the following:
1.

Searches for all occurrences of the string

2.

Positions the display at the first occurrence

To see the remaining occurrences, repeat the FIND command (without any
parameters). By default, you can use the FIND PF key to repeat the find.

56 User Guide

Find Information on a Display

keyword2
Finds all occurrences of a string according to its position in a word. Values of
keyword2 are CHARs (ignores the position), PREfix (beginning of a word), SUFfix
(end of a word), INFIX (middle of a word).
Some examples of the previous keywords follow. The capitalized characters indicate

Note: To see column numbers on your display, specify SET COLS ON at the
command line.
To find the string 3658 between columns 42 and 48, specify the following:
FIND 3658 42 48

fieldname
Finds a string in a column defined by a field on the display.
To find the string 3658 in the Jobnr field, specify the following:
FIND 3658 Jobnr

Use the FIND PF Key

The default setting for the FIND command issued without parameters is FIND NEXT.
Unless you or your system administrator has changed the setting of your PF 5 key, it is
by default set to FIND. Use your default FIND NEXT PF key to find other occurrences of a
string you located by issuing the FIND command at the command line.
For example, type the following on the command line:
FIND jobname

After the FIND command locates an instance of the job name you are searching for, use
your PF 5 key to find other occurrences.

How to Change PF Key Definitions (see page 75)
Initialization Command Options in the Profile (see page 77)

Overview of Your Profile

As a CA SYSVIEW user, you have a profile that determines how you can use the product
and what you see on your screen. Your system administrator could have defined or
altered a profile for you, or you could be using a default profile. However, you can
change your profile in ways that can help you use CA SYSVIEW to meet your own needs
and the needs of your site. Knowing how to change your profile is basic to begin using
CA SYSVIEW.

Use the PROFILE Command

Using displays for the PROFILE command, you can define synonyms for commands,
values for PF keys, and formats for command displays. The PROFILE command displays
let you change your general profile for all displays, or change only specific command
displays.
Another task you can perform using PROFILE is switching to the profile of another user.
This switch means that you can acquire the settings from the profile of that user for
your own. You can switch to the profile of another user by issuing this command:
PROFILE SWITCH,userid

userid
Specifies any CA SYSVIEW user ID.
Note: Switching to the profile of another user does not give you the command authority
of that user. The security administrator sets the ability to use particular commands.
Also, when you use the PROFILE command after switching profiles, the profile values of
the profile you switched to will be displayed.

Chapter 3: Basic Tasks 67

Overview of Your Profile

To see all the options you can set using the PROFILE command, see the PROFILE online
help. Later in this chapter, you learn more about PROFILE displays and how to perform
some representative tasks.
Keep in mind that changes you make to your profile using the PROFILE command are
permanent.

SET CommandChange Your Profile

You can also use the SET command to change your profile. Issue the SET command at
the command line with parameters to make one change at a time.
For example, if you are using the ACTIVITY command display, and want to set the PF6
key for that display so that it issues the CONSOLE command, type the following on the
command line:
SET PF6 CONSOLE

As with the PROFILE command, you can use the SET command both for the general
profile (all displays) and for specific command profiles. To do so, you use the GENERAL
or command parameter, respectively.
Most of the parameters defined in the profile can be changed with the SET command.

Access the PROFILE Command Displays

Use the PROFILE commands to access profile displays.
The following is a list of commands and a description of what they display:
PROFILE
Specify this command from a menu to see the Command Selection Display, which
shows all profile sections.
Specify this command on a CA SYSVIEW display to see the profile section for the
active display command.
PROFILE SELECT
Displays the Command Selection display, which shows all of the profile sections.
PROFILE SELECT GENERAL or PROFILE GENERAL
Displays a selection menu showing only the general profile sections.
PROFILE SELECT cmdname
Displays a selection menu showing the profile sections for the command you

How to Change Your Display Format

Update Your Profile

To add a value for a field in a profile section, type it in. To change an item in the profile
section list, type over the present value.
By default, your user profile is not updated until you terminate your CA SYSVIEW session

by issuing the PROFILE SAVE command.
Note: You can override the default value and specify that your changes can only be
saved when you issue the PROFILE SAVE command. To do so, specify the following
command at the command line:
SET PROFILESAVE COMMAND

On some profile displays, the CANCEL command can be used to cancel any changes
made to the current profile display.

How to Change Your Display Format

This section provides instructions on performing several representative tasks that
change your display format.
You can change your display format by using either of the following methods:

The PROFILE displays

How to Change Your Display Format

Change the Divider Lines Character

You can change the character used in the divider lines on your screen. The default

the online help for the SET command.

Change the Row/Col Field Display

A number of settings affect the display of row and column numbers in the Row/Col field.
You can elect to always display or never display the row and column counts, or you can
make the display of the counts conditional. The conditional Row/Col field is on when at
least one row or column is not visible on the display; otherwise, the field is off. Some
commands internally suppress the display of the row and column counts (DUMP, for
example), and there is no way to override this setting.
To change the Row/Col field settings, do one of the following

Go to the Display options area in the Miscellaneous Section of the general profile
and change the Display row counts and Display column counts fields to either ON,
OFF, or COND.

Use one of the following SET commands:

SET ROWCOUNT ON (or OFF or COND)
SET COLCOUNT ON (or OFF or COND)

Chapter 3: Basic Tasks 73

76 User Guide

Initialization Command Options in the Profile

Initialization Command Options in the Profile

Specifying values for initialization options makes a command easier and quicker to use
and lets you tailor it for specific tasks.
The following describes the options in the Miscellaneous Section of the command
PROFILE under Initialization options:
Default Parameters
Controls the parameters that are used with the command by default. The default
parameters for the command are used whenever the command is entered without
parameters. Parameters entered with the command override the default
parameters. If you want a parameter used with a command when you issue it,
specify that parameter here.
Link to command
Specifies whether to invoke implicitly the command with the LINK command. Values
are YES and NO.
The LINK command saves the current command environment, while passing control
to another command. Therefore, specifying YES on this option in your profile for the
ACTIVITY command, the current environment is saved when you issue the ACTIVITY
command.

Change the Masking Characters

You can use masking characters when entering some values on some command
parameters. The default masking characters are:

An asterisk (*) for the fixed length masking character

An equal sign (=) for the variable-length masking character

You can change the default masking characters.

Follow these steps:
1.

Issue the PROFILE GENERAL command.

The default profile displays.

2.

Select the Miscellaneous Section.

The General Section - Miscellaneous Section is displayed.

3.

Find the Input character options and type in new values for the fixed length
masking character and the variable-length masking character.
Press PF3 to save your changes and start using the new masking characters.

How to Work with Data on a Display

Methods for Specifying Options on a Command

You can display specific values on a display using the following methods:

Operators
In the example, you used the greater than symbol (>) to associate the field with the
value and determine that those rows should be displayed. You can use many
operators in addition to greater than (> or GR), such as equal to (EQ or =), and
greater than or equal to (GE or >=). You can also use operators such as B for blank
or NB. In which case you would not specify a value after the field and the operator.

COND Keyword
You can use the CONDition keyword in place of a field name to specify selection for
all fields defined as status fields on the current screen, without your having to name
them individually. Several requirements exist for specifying this keyword. To learn
more about this option, see the SELECT command online help.

Multiple Fields
You can select data to display according to more than one field by specifying
parameters on the SELECT command using the conn parameter.

Special Options
As with the SORT command, you can specify special options on the SELECT
command to either:

Return the data to the order created by the original command

Request that data be sorted as specified in the profile Formats Section

You can also specify the current SELECT parameters on the command line and
overtype them. See the SELECT command online help.

Chapter 3: Basic Tasks 87

Customize Your Display

Customize Your Display

You can customize your display by choosing the color of the fields on your display, or
whether to highlight them. You can also modify the field according to its type-input or
output.
Follow these steps:

The Fields are listed in the first column.

2.

Change the attributes of the field using one of the following methods:

Overtype the attribute values for them.

Specify the SCREEN command with parameters, indicating the field and how
you would like it to be changed.

For example, to make all input fields on your displays white, either overtype the
value for the field in the Color column, or specify the following:
SCREEN INPUT WHITE

For attribute values you can specify for the field, and for other details about the SCREEN
command, see the SCREEN command online help.

88 User Guide

Print a Display

Print a Display
You can print a display using the PRINT command. The printed output for the display can
be sent to a printer or placed in a data set.
Follow these steps:

To print the whole display, issue the following command:

PRINT ALL

To print what is currently on the screen, issue the following command:

PRINT SCREEN

To print specified lines on the display. For example, to print lines 5 through 20 on a
display, issue the following command:
PRINT FROM 5 TO 20

Once you issue a PRINT command, all output from subsequent PRINT commands goes to
the same file until you issue a PRINT CLOSE command.
Note: For other printing options you can use, see the online help for information about
the PRINT command.

IMS Common Queue Subtask

The IMS Common Queue Server subtask (IMSCQS) is the interface between the z/OS
Common Queue Server and CA SYSVIEW.

Display IMS Subsystem Shared Queues Group Information

You can obtain information about the IMS subsystems that participate in a shared
queues group.
Follow these steps:
1.

Issue the IMSLIST command.

The IMS Control Regions display shows the shared Q group name, CQS SSN, and the
primary overflow message structure names.

2.

Issue the IMSQTRAN, IMSQSTAT, or the IMSTRANS command.

IMSQTRAN shows the message counts for transactions queued to various queue
types in the shared message queue.
IMSQSTAT shows the status of the CQS address space and the Coupling Facility
structures that support the shared messaging environment used by the target IMS
subsystem.

Use the IMS SPOC to Issue IMS Commands

You can use the CA SYSVIEW IMS single point of control (SPOC) to issue IMS type 1 and
type 2 commands in an IMSplex. Type 1 commands must be preceded with a forward
slash (/) character.
To use the SYSVIEW IMS SPOC, be sure the following are configured and implemented:

CA SYSVIEW Option for IMS

An IMSPlex

IMS Common Services Layer

IMS Structured Call Interface

IMS Operations Manager

To issue IMS commands

1.

Issue the IMSSPOC command

The IMS SPOC screen displays as a console interface, which lets CA SYSVIEW
communicate with the IMS subsystems participating in the IMSplex.

2.

Change the IMSplex and Route fields using either of the following methods:

Overtype the data in the information area of the display

Specify the IMSplex and Route parameters on the command line

IMSplex
Provides the current target IMSplex name.
Route
Provides the current route options that specify which IMSplex members the
command is routed to. Asterisk (*) routes the command to all members.
The screen refreshes and displays the new data.

Cross-System Resource Monitoring

The Cross-System Resource Monitoring feature lets you remotely display, monitor, and
manage information from:

A current system

All connected systems

A subset of connected systems

You perform these tasks from one interface without using a session manager. This
feature uses the CA Common Communications Interface (CAICCI) component of CA
Common Services (CCS) to implement the cross-system communication.
When the available sessions that are cross-system capable are displayed, you can use
the screens to do the following:

Jump to any of those active sessions, including sessions that are running under
different CA SYSVIEW releases, and monitor the information.

Use the cross-system mode of multiple systems. This mode lets you gather and
display data from all of the active cross-system capable sessions running under the
same CA SYSVIEW release.

Note: The cross-system mode of multiple systems cannot gather data from sessions that
are running under different releases of CA SYSVIEW.

Control the Display of Cross-System Data

The following summarizes the SET keywords used to control the display of cross-system
data. These keywords only apply to commands that are defined as cross-system data
capable. For a list of commands that have this attribute, issue the XSCMDS command.
XSData
Controls whether the cross-system data is gathered and displayed. The values are
YES and NO.
Default: NO
XSGroup
Controls which system gathers and displays the cross-system data. Values are the
keywords:

ALL

NONE

Group name (as defined by the GROUPS PARMLIB member or the GROUPS
command) or a specific system name or alias

The group must be defined as type XSSYSTEM and the members are the names of
the systems from which data is displayed. The group member names cannot be
aliases.
Default: ALL
Note: The XSGROUP NONE is not the same as XSDATA NO. With XSGROUP NONE
and XSDATA YES, the screen displays the xsystem-only fields but does not display
data from any remote systems.
XSLimit
Sets a limit on the number of command data records that are returned from a
remote system. The value must be a number from 0 to 99999 or the keyword
NONE. A value of 0, or the equivalent NONE keyword means that there is no limit
on the number of records returned from a remote system.
Default: NONE (or 0)
XSMsglvl
Controls the display of data lines for systems from which data could not be
obtained. The message data line displays the system name and message in a field
named XSMsg.
The values are NONE, INFO, WARN, and ERROR.
Default: ERROR

Chapter 14: Cross-System Resource Monitoring Displays 167

Cross-System Resource Monitoring

XSRemdup
Controls the removal of duplicate systems from any hardware, sysplex, or node
base cross-system data. The values are:
NO
No duplicate systems are removed from any hardware, sysplex, or node base
cross-system data.
AUTO
Duplicate systems are automatically removed from any hardware, sysplex, or
node base cross-system data. Only the first system (taken in alphabetical order)
within like-named hardware, sysplex, or node (JES MAS) configurations are
displayed.
PREF
Duplicate systems are removed using a system preference order defined by a
group name the same as the hardware, sysplex, or node configuration with a
group type of XSHDWR, XSPLEX or XSNODE. The order of the group members
(system names) in the group defines the preferred order. The first available
system, if any, is used. If no matching system names are found, then the
systems are considered in alphabetical order (the same as AUTO).
Default: NO
The AUTO and PREF options only apply when the XSGROUP name is ALL and only
when cross-system data type is HARDWARE, SYSPLEX, or NODE. In all other cases,
AUTO and PREF are ignored.
Duplicate data resulting from more than one cross-system data server active on a
system is automatically removed.
XSStatusline
Controls the display of the xsystem status line in the screen info line area. The
values are:
YES
Always display the xsystem status line.
NO
Never display the xsystem status line.
COND
Only display the xsystem status line when XSDATA is YES.

How to Activate the SDSFMIGRATE Option

CA SYSVIEW provides the SDSFMIGRATE option to help you migrate from the IBM SDSF
product to CA SYSVIEW.
The SDSFMIGRATE option lets you do following:

Work in an environment similar to SDSF while becoming accustomed to the CA

SYSVIEW environment and command structure

Enter most SDSF primary commands

Enter most SDSF line commands

To activate and use this option, do the following:

1.

Enter the SET SDSFMIGRATE ON command or have the CA SYSVIEW administrator

change the DEFAULT profile when the product is first installed.
Note: For more information about the DEFAULT profile, see the Administration
Guide.

2.

Compare the SDSF commands with the CA SYSVIEW commands by entering the
following command:
MENU SDSF

3.

After you become used to CA SYSVIEW and want to experience the full potential
and flexibility of its environment, issue the following SET command:
SET SDSFMIGRATE OFF

The option is turned off.

Default: ALL, which allows all records to be selected.
SHIFT
Determines the time range for selecting data. The SELECT-PROC subroutine uses
this range to exclude SMF records which do not fall within the specified time range.
The range is specified as h1:m1 h2:m2.

h1:m1 specifies the starting time for the shift

h2:m2 specifies the ending time for the shift

If h1:m1 is greater than h2:m2, then two time ranges are assumed: h2:m2 24:00
and 00:00 h1:m1.
Default: 00:00 24:00
TO
Determines the ending timestamp for SMF record selection. The SELECT-PROC
subroutine uses TO to exclude SMF records that have timestamps later than the
provided value. The timestamp is specified as YYYY/MM/DD-HH:MM.
Default: ALL, which allows all records to be selected.

Macros

The following explanations correspond to the line numbers in the preceding example:
1.

This section of the code defines the ABENDSUM program as a macro so that
parameters can be specified easily when the program is run. This example has no
positional parameters, and five keyword parameters (EACH, SHIFT, FROM, TO, and
RECTYPE), each with a default value.
The following examples show how to invoke this macro:
%ABENDSUM
%ABENDSUM

2.

EACH HOUR

This section invokes the SYSVCDEF macro. This macro:

Includes definitions of all the CA SYSVIEW SMF record types and some related
MVS and RMF record types

Sets global variables that are referenced in the common subroutines.

The SEGMENT parameter identifies the primary data segment to use for the report.
3.

This line begins the extraction section. The JOB statement defines and initiates
processing activities as follows:
INPUT SMFIN
The INPUT parameter identifies the SMFIN input file.
START SET-PARMS
The START parameter runs the SET-PARMS subroutine, which initializes the
selection criteria.

4.

This PERFORM statement runs the SELECT-REC subroutine for each record in the
input file. This subroutine performs common selection and filtering. If you want to
process the record, set the variable SELECTED to T (true); otherwise it is set to F
(false).

5.

This line issues a PRINT statement for each EXPCRABS segment in the current
record.

6.

This line includes common subroutine definitions.

7.

This section defines the output report.

Macros
The canned reports are constructed from several macros that provide common
functionality. These macros help you eliminate duplicated effort and are described in
the following sections.

Chapter 16: Create Reports Using the CA Easytrieve Reporting Service 193

Macros

SYSVCDEF Macro
The SYSVCDEF macro provides common definitions for global variables that various
utility macros and subroutines use. SYSVCDEF includes the SMF record definitions
needed by the canned reports. Invoke it as the first noncomment statement in the CA
Easytrieve program.
The SYSVCDEF macro supports the following keyword parameters:
EACH
Determines the length of each reporting interval. The SELECT-BY-TIME subroutine
of the SYSVPROC macro uses this parameter to set the TSTAMP value for each SMF
record. For most reports, SMF data is aggregated for each reporting interval.
Specify one of the following:
n DAY
Reporting interval is n days.
MONTH
Reporting interval is one month.
n HOUR
Reporting interval is n hours.
n MIN
Reporting interval is n minutes.
RECORD
Set the TSTAMP value for each SMF record set to the actual timestamp,
without adjustment. In practice, this value prevents data aggregation.
Default: DAY
FROM
Determines the starting timestamp for SMF record selection. The SELECT-PROC
subroutine uses this value to exclude SMF records which have timestamps earlier
than the provided value. The timestamp is specified as YYYY/MM/DD-HH:MM.
Default: ALL, which allows all records to be selected.
PRODUCT
Indicates the name of the product that produced the SMF records. This name is
used to filter the SMF records. Typically, the SEGMENT specification automatically
sets this value.
Default: Null string, ''

194 User Guide

Macros

RECSTYPE
Specifies the SMF record subtype that contains the desired data. Typically, the
SEGMENT specification automatically sets this value.
Default: 0
RECTYPE
Specifies the SMF record type for the SYSVIEW IMS records. The SEGMENT
specification automatically sets this value when SEGMENT is the name of a section
in a standard MVS or RMF record.
Default: 255
SEGMENT
Indicates the name of the primary data segment type to extract. SEGMENT is used
to:

Determine RECTYPE and RECSTYPE when appropriate

Set up variables that can be used for stepping through the segments with the
SYSVFOR macro

Default: Null string, ''

SHIFT
Determines the time range for selecting data. The SELECT-PROC subroutine uses
SHIFT to exclude SMF records that do not fall within the specified time range. The
range is specified as h1:m1 h2:m2.

h1:m1 is the starting time for the shift.

h2:m2 is the ending time for the shift.

If h1:m1 is greater than h2:m2, then two time ranges are assumed: h2:m2
24:00, and 00:00 h1:m1.

Default: 00:00 24:00

SUBSYS
Indicates the name of the subsystem that produced the SMF records. SUBSYS is
used to filter the SMF records. Typically, SUBSYS is set automatically from the
SEGMENT specification.
Default: Null string, ''
TO
Determines the ending timestamp for SMF record selection. The SELECT-PROC
subroutine uses TO to exclude SMF records that have timestamps later than the
provided value. The timestamp is specified as YYYY/MM/DD-HH:MM.
Default: ALL, which allows all records to be selected.

Chapter 16: Create Reports Using the CA Easytrieve Reporting Service 195

Macros

SYSVPROC Macro
The SYSVPROC macro defines common subroutines for selecting and filtering records
and data segments. Invoke SYSVPROC after the first JOB statement, and before the first
REPORT statement. The following subroutines are provided:
SELECT-BY-TIME
Filters the SMF records by the record timestamp. Any record that does not satisfy
the FROM, TO, and SHIFT parameters is rejected by setting the SELECT variable to F.
SELECT-REC
Performs the standard record selection by using the values previously set through
the SYSVCDEF macro and the SET-PARMS subroutine. Upon return from the routine,
the SELECT variable has a value of T if the record passes all filtering criteria,
otherwise the value is F.
Specifically, the routine verifies that SMFRTYP, SMFRSTYP, SMFHSSI, and
SMFHPROD match the corresponding values for RECTYPE, RECSTYPE, SUBSYS, and
PRODUCT.
The routine also calls SELECT-BY-TIME to verify that the record timestamp is within
the time ranges specified in the FROM, TO, and SHIFT parameters.
SET-OFFSETS
Sets addressability to the various record definitions, based on RECTYPE, RECSTYPE,
SMFRTYP, SMFRSTYP, and SEGMENT.
SELECT-BY-TIME calls SET-OFFSETS, and is not typically named directly from a user
program.
SET-PARMS
Decodes the standard parameters that are specified on the SYSVCDEF macro. The
values are then inserted into global variables that are accessible to the various
filtering and selection routines and macros.
SET-PARMS is typically invoked as the START procedure on a JOB statement, but can
also be invoked directly at any time using a PERFORM statement.
SET-SMFTIME
Examines the SMF record timestamps to determine the lowest and highest
timestamp found in the data.
Because SET-SMFTIME is an internal subroutine, it typically is not invoked directly
from a user program.
SPLIT-PARM
Splits a parameter into two parts, delimited by the first blank.
Because SPLIT-PARM is an internal subroutine, it typically is not invoked directly
from a user program.

Macros

FILTERID Macro
The FILTERID macro filters on an alphanumeric field.
This macro supports the following three positional parameters:
FAIL
Specifies the name of a label to branch to when PAT is not matched.
PAT
Specifies the pattern to match. The pattern is a text string to match against the
content of VAR. Each position of VAR is matched against PAT, until a mismatch is
found, or until a blank is found in VAR.

The asterisk (*) in PAT matches the rest of VAR.

The question mark (?) matches any single character.

VAR
Specifies the name of the field or variable to filter.
Example: FILTERID Macro
In this example, all remaining processing in the current JOB is skipped if the value of
SMF74SER does not begin with TSO.
%FILTERID

SMF74SER

'TSO*'

JOB

In this example, processing jumps to the SKIPIT label if the value of SMF74SER does not
end in 01.
%FILTERID

SMF74SER

'????01'

SKIPIT

SMFDATE Macro
The SMFDATE macro converts a binary 8-byte SMF timestamp into a numeric date using
the YYYYMMDD format.
This macro supports two positional parameters:
DATEOUT
8-byte numeric, typically defined as follows:
8 N MASK(9999/99/99)

SMFTOD
SMF timestamp, usually SMFHTOD

Chapter 16: Create Reports Using the CA Easytrieve Reporting Service 197

Macros

SMFTIME Macro
The SMFTIME macro converts a binary 8-byte SMF timestamp into a numeric time using
the HHMMSS format.
This macro supports two positional parameters:
SMFTOD
SMF timestamp, typically SMFHTOD
TIMEOUT
8-byte numeric, typically defined as follows:
8 N MASK(99:99:99)

STCKCONV Macro
The STCKCONV macro converts data between a binary STCK timestamp and its 19-byte
character representation as YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS.
This macro supports three parameters:
BINSTAMP
Name of the BIN variable, defined as 8 A
CHARSTAMP
Name of the CHAR variable, defined as 19 A
FORMAT
Type of conversion desired:
B
Convert from CHAR to BINARY
C
Convert from BINARY to CHAR

198 User Guide

Macros

SYSVFOR Macro
The SYSVFOR macro generates a report line for each instance of a segment type within
the current SMF record.
This macro supports two explicit arguments:
SEGN
Name of the desired segment
RPTN
Name of the report to generate
Before you invoke this SYSVFOR macro, set the following global variables in the
SET-OFFSETS subroutine, which are invoked internally through the SELECT-REC and
SELECT-BY-TIME subroutines.
SEG_COUNT
Sets the number of segments in the record.
SEG_LEN
Sets the length of the segment type.
SEG_OFFSET
Sets the offset within the SMF record to the first byte of the first segment. Calculate
the offset from SMFHSI, which is the first byte following the RDW.
For SMF records, such as SYSVIEW CMCR that provide triplets containing offsets
relative to the RDW, set the SEG_OFFSET to four less than the provided value. The
SELECT-REC subroutine code in macro SYSVPROC does this set for each of the
segment types defined in any of the provided SMF record types.
This following macro steps through all of the SMF74B segments and issues PRINT
EXTRACT for each such segment found.
%SYSVFOR
